Tin Whistle (Key of D)

  From January 2020 we will be teaching Tin Whistle to children from First to Sixth class during our curriculum Music lessons. Please buy a Tin Whistle in the Key of D and bring it to school in January. We will label each tin whistle and children will keep their whistle in school. Children can only use their own whistle etc. This could be a nice stocking filler idea for really good boys and girls…...
